Went to an Irish Pub on St Paddy's day weekend, they had a live band and couldn't figure out that it would be busy.. Closed the kitchen because they couldn't handle it, so couldn't get food. Service was slow and terrible, 1 waitress. Had 1 beer and left. Don't have a live Irish band if you can't handle people coming.Also they covered up the iconic wall which is like 1/2 the reason anyone would come here, very "Instagram worthy", so basically they killed this bar overnight. Changed the name but don't even have any signs anywhere saying the name has changed. Between the name and the wall, we thought we were in the wrong bar.Bar Rescue needs to come in here and show them how it's done!! And uncover the cool wall that you see in most the photos here!!
The Black Velvet band was awesome. The service was incredible, including the honesty about there delays in the kitchen. I think it was managed very well and we had a great time.
I had the fish and chips, as did our friend, my wife had the Reuben, also Good. The was good, but the menu is very limited due to staffing problems due to the pandemic. Service was ery friendly and efficient, n long waits. Happy hour was convenient as well. Probably was I really lked was that the acoustics were very good, you could carry on a conversation without having to scream.
Today I had lunch with my family at the Forge. I am not an adventurous eater, however I tried poutine and colcannon for the first time and I loved them both. The portions were great and everything was delicious and I will definitely return to the Forge.
We just discovered the Forge today! What a delight. We tried Irish Poutine, and its was yummy! I had an order of Colcannon for the first time and I loved it. The Irish Bruschetta was delicious! Thank you Patrick. Great service great food!
Great service, great food! And great entertainment! The fried mushroom appetizer rocks! Fish & Chips are awesome!
So much potential here. The food and service is lacking. I ordered the fish and chips which came out soggy with breading that was thick and cold. Really disappointed. Sitting at the bar on a quiet weeknight my friend and I had to wait around 10 minutes to be served drinks upon our arrival. Will not be returning.
Good food, service and ambiance. They had to pair back the menu due to covid and we can't wait for it to return to normal. Last time we were there it blew us away.
With tip & tax. Paid $27.00 for two mediocre bloodymarys.Freezing cold. Everyone left their coats on. Service was very slow. Entertainment was good. Our second time. First wasn't much better. Likely our last.
Absolutely LOVE this place!! Everyone there is extremely cool and makes you feel right at home! They have an awesome menu and drinks, and the live music on the weekends is a huge plus…I guess I’m a little bias to the music since I play there! On that note, come check it out!! ?☘️?

Service ultra slow, food mediocre, not worth the visit
The food was mediocre. The service was super slow. (1 1/2 hours for a burger) The prices were high. Skip it!
